Morphology

nurse-patient + relation

The phrase denotes the relationship between a nurse and a patient and is directly compositional from 'nurse' + 'patient' + 'relation', so its meaning is predictable from the constituent words. This is a transparent, cross-linguistically common possession/relationship construction and would be understood by a B1 learner who knows the individual words.

Etymology

Nurse-patient relation comes from the simple image of a nurse sitting by a patient's bed, caring for and watching over them. That's why it means a working relationship where the nurse looks after the patient and acts in their best interests, or 'to care for' and 'to protect'.
